Some late news: The European Central Bank’s governing council has ended its deliberations.

And the word from Frankfurt is that Greece’s banks will be given an extra 2 billion euros emergency liquidity, taking the ELA total up to 78.9bn euros.

But that’s not all. After “intense” discussions, the ECB had decided not to change the ‘haircut’ applied to the assets Greek banks hand over as collateral for the ELA. But they will reconsider it next week, after Monday’s eurogroup meeting.....

European markets edge higher despite Yellen comments

With talks between Greece and its creditors continuing - and the Brussels group of the ECB, IMF and EU maintaining they are working hard together to find a solution - shares have edged higher, even as bonds across the eurozone continue to slip. Stock markets were also unsettled by comments from US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen that equity values were “quite high” and potentially dangerous. However Wall Street reacted more than European markets to this warning. The final scores showed:

The FTSE 100 is up 6.16 points at 6933.74

Germany’s Dax has added 0.2% to 11,350.15

France’s Cac has closed up 0.15% at 4981.59

Italy’s FTSE MIB finished up 0.37% at 22,659.85

Spain’s Ibex ended 0.43% higher at 11,163.6

The Athens market jumped 2.86% to 816.94

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently down 85 points or 0.48%.

On that note it’s time to close up for the evening. Thanks for all your comments, and we’ll be back tomorrow.

The European Central Bank has issued a list of 8 banks which will face stress tests and balance sheet reviews, while Portugal’s Banco Novo will face a stress test only. The moves because of their increased systemic significance since the ECB’s last health check last year.
